Home Review

This is one of Palermo's most popular boutique hotels due to the young couple behind it, Irish-Argentine Patricia O'Shea and her British husband Tom Rixton. She grew up a few blocks away and he is a former DJ, giving the place both anchor and soul. On Fridays, there's a DJ in the lobby bar, and it's a great place for drinks, even if you're not staying here. There's a real backyard with an ironic suburban edge, with grass and an outdoor heated pool. Rooms are high-design, and some suites come with Jacuzzis or kitchens. One room is available for travelers with disabilities. A two-level apartment with its own entrance is attached to the property. There's an excellent spa sunken into the courtyard, open to the public, with day-rate packages costing about $200, which includes breakfast and lunch.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; babysitting; bikes; concierge; health club and spa; Internet in business center; heated outdoor pool; room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
